Perhaps it's me who's missing you?

Sam and Louis found themselves together in the cafeteria.

Despite Louis's average table manners and not exactly being a model of virtue, Sam felt quite at ease around him.

After all, how many true friends can one have? Do you make friends thinking they will help you advance in life?

Clearly not. Most people never encounter the kind of profound friendships found only in novels and films.

Because most of us are ordinary folks, just getting through life is challenging enough, let alone thinking about helping others advance. It's quite unrealistic.

Actually, if you keep it simple, being happy and getting some comfort during tough times is already quite an achievement.

"By the way, you haven't joined any clubs yet, have you? Hasn't Alice the teacher talked to you about it?" Louis suddenly asked while eating.

Sam shook his head.

"She did, and so I've joined a club."

Louis was shocked: "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"
